Easy Pineapple Fritters. Pineapple rings fried in a light, crisp batter. Serve warm or with a drizzle of syrup or scoop of ice cream! Really quick and easy to make.

Pineapple Fritters! Oh my gosh! I absolutely love these.

Served warm when they're just cooked and tossed in sugar is the best!

The batter is lovely and crisp, similar to a tempura batter, the pineapple is warm and soft and it makes for a great quick and easy dessert.

You may have eaten pineapple fritters in a Chinese or a South East Asian restaurant, often they're served hot with ice cream and or syrup. Another name for these is Nanas Goreng, which is the name used in Indonesian, Malaysian and Singaporian cuisine. It just means pineapple which is coated in batter and deep fried.

What do you eat with pineapple fritters?

Serve with a drizzle of syrup or honey, a blob of ice cream, or like I do when I have a crowd over, I make up a platter of various fritters, homemade apple fritters, pineapple, banana, and then pop all the toppings on the table so everyone can help themselves.

Apple Fritters. Yum! Slices of apple in a crispy light batter then coated in cinnamon sugar. Served warm with a drizzle of syrup, honey or a blob of ice cream.. makes for a perfect dessert! Quick and easy recipe too! | Lovefoodies.com — Apple Fritters

You can use ice cream toppings, fruit sauce, different ice creams. Really, the possibilities are endless, so do play around with how you wish to serve and have fun eating them!

I've also given these little fritters a bit of a tropical taste by adding shredded coconut to the sugar for the coating at the end.

Oh boy! They taste wonderful! You really can add whatever you wish to coat.

Banana Fritters. These are a lovely crispy treat, serve warm as they are or with some syrup drizzled over or a blob of ice cream! A great way to use up the odd banana too! Really quick and easy to make. | Lovefoodies.com — Banana fritters

The ones in the photos are just using sugar as a coating, but the chocolate, coconut, etc will be so good too.

We've also added some substitutes below for those who would like to make this recipe Gluten Free.

Please note, these really do need to be eaten as soon as possible to enjoy the crisp and light batter. At a push, you could keep them warm in the oven, but I don't think the batter would be as crispy as when they come right out of the pan.

Prep Time

5 Minutes

Cook Time

2 - 3 Minutes

Serves

6 Pineapple rings

Ingredients

¾ cup plus 2 Tablespoons or 100g All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
¼ Pint or 150 ml water
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
6 Pineapple rings, fresh or canned
Sugar and/or shredded coconut for coating

To make these Gluten-Free

Remove the flour and add 1 tablespoon ground flax and 1 teaspoon potato starch and about ½ Cup of water.

*Note: add a bit of water to the batter at a time until you get a thick consistency as described in Step 2 of the instructions.

These substitutes have been kindly shared by our friends over at Blessed Beyond Crazy who tried our recipe out for Gluten Free! Be sure to check out all their delicious Gluten Free recipes!

Instructions

1. In a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. Add the water and oil and combine with a hand whisk.

The consistency should be thick, like heavy cream, and be able to coat a spoon.

If it is too thick, add a drop more water, too thin, add a little more flour. Set aside.

3. Heat a pan with vegetable oil until it reaches 180 C or 350 F.

Make sure you do not overfill the pan with oil.

I use a small saucepan and cook in batches, filling the pan ⅓ deep with cooking oil.

4. Whilst the oil is heating up, dip each pineapple ring in the batter so it is fully coated and carefully place in the pan, cooking both sides until golden brown.

** To tell if the oil is hot enough, drop a tiny bit of batter, the size of a pea into the oil. If it sizzles and floats to the top immediately, the oil is hot enough.

5. Place the fritters on some kitchen paper then dip them into a bowl with sugar and coconut if using, to coat.

Serve immediately as they are or with some syrup drizzled over the top or a blob of ice cream!
